I rooted my i9100m a couple of months ago and after the rooting process it wasn't recognized by my computer. I didn't really care much though. Well now I do, so I unrooted my phone yesterday by flashing the stock ROM but it still didn't work with my PC. I really hope that my phone isn't broken. Any suggestions? I have reinstalled the samsung kies drivers, tried different usb ports/cables and multiple computers with no luck...

U did flash the correct Rom/Firmware for ur phone and not the international i9100?
Did u try to activate "USB Debugging" in developer settings?
CHEERS
I flashed the correct firmware for my exact phone. And I have tried usb debugging.

I guess there is a problem with SGS2's USB connector. Try cleaning it with a toothbrush and it may work. Seems crazy, but worked for me and lot of other guys. I came to know about this on XDA...

Ok, got a usb jig and can get into download mode no problem. I can't get phone to be recognized as anything other than an unknown device. Tried the samsung usb drivers as well as the adk drivers. 2 different pc's and 3 different cables. I am running CM7 and I want it back to factory so I can flash something that will allow me to save my family in the event of a fire. Odin never recognizes the phone. Is there someone who has went back to stock from cm7 on a vibrant and could provide me with the proper drivers?
Thank you!
What I did is I downloaded kies mini ince installed on the PC. Plug in the phone and it will download the required drivers for your phone. Once its completed power offthe phone get into download mode and turn on Odin. It should work. Worked for me

Yeah, Kies Mini is a very easy and effective method of installing Samsung Drivers. OP, I suggest you try it.

Hi,
got a S3 since a few hours and KIES doens´t install on my X64 machine.
It just hangs in the installer.
Any suggestions?
thanks a lot, nearly
Make sure your S3 isn't plugged into your PC at the time. For some reason Kies wouldn't install for me while my S3 was plugged into my computer. Hope this helps...
Yep. Don't use it! Use Odin to flash firmware.

My Kies installation looped on 'Installing hotfix'. I just pressed cancel and it continued the installation. And it works fine afterwards as well.

SAMSUNG USB Drivers
You can use the SAMSUNG USB Drivers instead of Kies.

This is because of java - I can't remember which way round it is, but you either need to install it, update or uninstall it to get Kies to go past hotfix. I think its install
It's a common problem!
My samsung Galaxy S2 Model SPH-D710 just updated to Android 4.0.4 and now will not connect via USB to my computer running Win7
I never had this problem with it before, first time I tried since that update just the other day and so I'm guessing it has something to do with it.
Running Stock. I don't see anywhere to make it connect to get the phone itself to show up as a drive.
It's been a while since I ran stock ICS but have you tried, settings - storage- menu. That may offer you some more options. Does kies recognise your phone? Also check USB debugging in developer options.
DO NOT PERFORM ANY WIPES AT ALL WHILE RUNNING STOCK 4.0.4

Now I cannot connect to get any pics off my phone storage.

I thought keis needed to run for the drivers. Even when I try to connect to keis it won't detect though
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
As @sriram231092 said correctly you have to stop ALL of kies related processes.
The kies is important so your OS will have the required drivers so the device could be recognized.
After installing kies, make sure you do a reboot and then, just before you start ODIN close all the kies related processes.
I also suggest you run ODIN as admin if you're running win 7 or above.

Does device manager(DM) recognizes your device ? try to uninstall drivers from DM and re-connect your phone.
I also suggest using back door input for your usb.

Try to restart your pc/laptop? Take out the usb cable, restart windows, stop kies, start odin, plug in usb and it should say added.
Ps: you only needed kies to install your phone drivers, so make sure it has installed the drivers, you can check by normally starting your phone, plug in usb and see a popup msg.

Yeah, I am already loving it. Installed ARHD pretty much straight away.
I'm much preferring this phone to the one x I had, everything right down to the volume of the speaker I think is better.
Well it's great to hear
Actually I have 2 S3 at home the other one is my mom's, I've installed for her SAMMY based and I've got AOSP based kinda having the cake and eat it

Hi, I have asked this question few months ago but i couldn't get the answer and also, somehow I couldn't login so I have made the account again and I have been searching around to find out the answer for my problem but I couldn't
I have few questions/issues.
I have Galaxy S3 (GT-9300). I have brought in it New Zealand but it was unlocked phone. So when I did was installing the omega rom, I found out that the rom it had was the rom from one of the europe countries (I can't remember)
I was wondering if I can install any GT-9300 stock rom to get back to stock rom phone or do I somehow have to find out which stock rom it had before?
The other question is that I was trying to reinstall and update the omega rom from the scratch by going to stock rom then installing the latest omega rom. But my phone somehow won't connect to the PC, it charges properly and I know its not the computer or cable 's problem. I have searched and searched on google but couldn't find any solution to resolve that. (Tried different versions of Kies, tried removing everything turning off the phone and restarting, tried to changed to tfs(?) mode and other stuff)
Because of that, I can't use Odin to change Roms or anything. Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem or changing Roms without connecting to the computer?
Currently, I have Omega v54.
Thank you so much
Go read the sticky thread in general forum, how to return to stock.
You can use any firmware for the i9300 but best is the latest for your country.
Sorry but the main problem is that my phone is not getting recognized by the computer so i cant use Odin to do that. Please read the whole contents
Try different versions of drivers.
Sent from my GT-I9300
What do you mean by different drivers?
I have tried all the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 slots on my pc
but no luck.
The message i am getting is ' USB Device Not Recognized' 'One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message'
You have skipped several steps in the learning process. Go read the sticky thread in general forum, you'll need the correct Samsung drivers to connect your pc with Odin.
I did that while ago, and did that again this morning. uninstalled kies, installed latest Samsung USB driver. but exactly same as before.
same usb error message. and on the device manager, it shows up as unknown device.
another thing I found is that on *#7284# (Service mode) I can only find UART : MODEM, PDA USB: MODEM, PDA. (I have tried this with USB debug mode)
Kies stops Odin from working
Sorry I think you are keep saying the same thing but I DO NOT HAVE Kies. didn't have it for at least 4 months now.
and its the problem with connection to the PC more than going back to stock rom.
Need to resolve the connection problem first to do the Odin step.
please read the messages properly before reply.

How did you do that? is it a special driver?
Now I can start on going back to stock rom
Oh, It worked for about 5 minutes and it stopped working again.
Only thing I did is opening the phone folder on the computer to see if I can actually see the files. I am not sure why. I have tried to uninstall and install again. but this time not working at all

Then it's something wrong either with usb cable,usb port(on Pc) or ,most likely,micro usb on your phone.
When you insert usb cable into micro usb port,try jerking it up and down,left and right but gently and listen will it make connection for a second,at least.
